How to Dress the Hair.

From the New York Mail and Express.
The question OF dressing the hair
becomingly is one that agitates many
feminine breasts, and is understood
by comparatively few women. The
idea OF adopting 9 certain style OF
coiffure merely because it happens to
be the fashion is. ridiculous. There
should be no such thing as fashion in
this important matter. A woman
ought to dress her hair according to
this is precisely what she does
not do. Fixed rules cannot of
course be laid down as to the
proper method OF procedures in hair
dressing, but there are several general
precepts that may be followed by
young and old with impunity. For
instance. a long, narrow face demands
that the hair be somewhat puffed at
the sides SO that a proper harmony
OF proportion be maintained. Aeon.
trary course should be observed if the.
countenance be, round aud full. Moth
ing can be more ill-adapted to a short,
fat face than bushy curls surrounding
it. Yetsfat women nearly always ar
range their hair in curls and puffs ex-
aggerated to q, degree corresponding
to the amount Of adjacent adipose
tissue. A slight crinlpine OF the hair
relieves otherwise severe outlines and
is always becoming: but there is q
great difference between soft waves
and bushy eurls. Above all things

Rejecting back the monday light
Only a boy; yet be saw that pin,
And his face assumed a fiendish grin;
He stopped for q while, with look intent,
Till he and the pin alike were bent.
Only a chair; but upon its seat
A well-bent pin found safe retreat;
Nor had the keenest eye discerned
That h~eavenward it's point was turned.

Upon that chair, went fizz-bang pop.

And opened wide his valve de throttle.
